Blog: Film festivals

The SubFilmFest aims to attract an Albanian, Mediterranean and Global audience from film, anthropology, marine culture and biology students as well as all parties with an interest in the Coastal Zone. Apart from an educational purpose the Festival aims at creating a pool of people that will eventually produce culture, research and creative products related to the Coastal Zone.

The festival will be primarily "anchored" in the Velipoja beach, in northern Albania from the 25th of July to the 29th of July. Velipoja is well known for its diverse landscape as well as the smell of iodine from it's curative sand, which makes it a unique beach in the Albanian Coast. Velipoje is also considered the place where the Albanian Coast begins. Because of the inmmense attention the southern beaches have acquired in the last decade, Velipoje could become its cultural counterpart in the northern area. The beach will be subjected to minimal changes for the accommodation of the festival with eco-friendly structures and interventions. Parallel to the screenings the film festival will include discussions and workshops as well as cultural, leisure and gastronomic events and purchasable services that will enrich the Coastal Zone experience.

This year the festival will not be a competitive festival just a showcase of works that deal with coastal and marine issues.
